EUSS applications 

Our Lawyers work tirelessly for EU nationals and their family members. The Home Office policy on this has changed since the 9th of August, 2023. Some of the fundamental changes announced on the 7th of December, 2023, are as follows:

  • Firstly, a person would not permitted to make a valid EUSS application if they have traveled to the UK or have been in the UK without permission. 
  • Secondly, where a person enters the UK as a visitor, they must apply within 3 months of entry. This would be in line with the withdrawal agreement. 
  • In addition, the ability for the Home Office to either cancel or curtail a person’s status under EUSS if this done in error or if the person provided wrongful information. 

The Home Office has removed the ability to do administrative review when an application for EUSS has refused. The right to appeal is now restricted.
